Again? But that trick never works!

A member of the Fantastic Four...dead??? (Gasp...choke!)

Death of the FF

Well sure, if you're gonna pull that kind of stunt, people are going to get upset at this irreversible plot twist...

Death of the FF

But hey, guys, I wouldn't worry. The death of a FF member isn't some sort of cheap stunt. They wouldn't do this capriciously or casually. It doesn't happen everyday.

Why, surely there must be some alternate worlds where death doesn't visit the Fantastic Four, right?

But, let us never forget...there's only one death of a Fantastic Four member that is groundbreaking, memorable, momentous, and truly heartbreakingly touching. Only one:

Mr. Stuffed Bull, sir, I never get around saying this, but I absolutely admire your mind-boggingly thorough research abilities.

As for your post,

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh Marvel, you cad!

Scott Bryan said...

So true!

David Campbell said...

This may be your best post, Bully.

One thing that is hopefully absolutely forever dead is that 90s Invisible Woman costume!

S Bates said...

*sniff* I'll miss that little robot. Thank you for that lovely tribute.

BTW, did someone die in the FF again?

Adam Barnett said...

I bow to your awesomeness.

Jack said...

I'm spotting something of a trend here...epic post, Bully.

Let's not forget this little bit of math...

"Final" issue of Fantastic Four is #588.

A "New Title" begins after that. Let's say that title runs, oh...12 issues.

Johnny Returns, and the Fantastic Four series begins again with anniversary Issue #600.

Way to be obvious, Marvel.

Wayne Allen Sallee said...

Didn't Flash restart at #1 with the plan already being that Bart Allen would, uh, die and then re-start the numbering again with Barry Allen?

'Also dead: Fashion'

Heee. (That was just one among many alt tags that made me snicker. Thank you!)

Jason said...

The Gilbert and Sullivan tag was the one that got me. I LOL'd.

Rol said...

Excellent work, Bully.

Steve Kopian said...

My question is has any long standing member of the Marvel Universe not died?...how about not died more than once?....

Doc Thompson said...

Wait...Marvel will do something new...kill everybody but the Fantastic Four or did they do that one too.
